Joining the ranks of carbon-reducing pick-up trucks is this new 2024 Isuzu D-Max Hi-Lander Mild Hybrid (MHEV) concept, that's just been unveiled in Thailand ahead of next week's Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS). It's not a reality just yet, but the idea is sound and to be honest, it doesn't look that far off from production. Under the hood is the 1.9-litre Ddi Blue Power turbodiesel, paired to a small electric motor on the front of the engine and a 48V battery. Powertrain figures nor spec

Honda has resurrected the Prelude name, unveiling the concept at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. The Prelude, a nomenclature last seen in the late '90s, has historically represented front-wheel drive, 2-door coupes.

2020 turned out to be a good year for the Isuzu D-Max in Thailand as it managed to overtake the Toyota Hilux to become not only Thailand’s best-selling pick-up truck but also its best-selling car. Based on the sales figures for the first two months of 2021, it might retain the crown. During the first two months of the year, Thais bought 52,182 units of pick-up trucks.

Malaysians are bound to welcome a slew of new pick-up trucks this year, and one of them is the 2021 Nissan Navara NP300 (D23) facelift that was spotted recently.
